I Am Just an Average Person

For what it is worth, the GMAT confirmed my averageness today. I took a 4 hour long test this morning, and I got a score of 560. The range in grading of the test is from 200 to 800. 500 is the average score. So, I guess I am actually slightly above average, but only barely. I hope San Jose State likes average people like me.

Also, now that I have taken the test, I can stop worrying about it, and feeling guilty because I should be studying more for it. Yay!

Also, my brain is fried and I need to sleep.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

FUCK OFF.

Disappointed and Depressed

Nope, I do not like paying rent. It is like flushing money down the toilet. And, apparently, once you are done flushing for a month, you already need to start flushing for the next. It is a constant flushing away of my hard earned cash, and I do not approve.

The only reason why I am not squatting somewhere in the amazon is because the commute to work would kill me, but don't think I haven't seriously considered it.

Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if rent didn't take up half of my monthly paycheck. HALF! I feel like crying. I work so hard and yet I am broke. Between taxes and rent and health insurance ... I might as well just go on welfare. At least then I wouldn't have to work 50 hours a week so that I can come home -through an hour of traffic- to eat Top Ramen. Refusing to be a productive citizen would allow me to skip the hassle and go straight to the noodles.

My life sucks right now. In fact, I hate California right now. For all its progressiveness, the availability of basic human necessities, like shelter and food, to the average person seem to be at the bottom of the priority list. -Just look at all the morbidly obese synthetic-corn-starch fed and/or homeless people, who are EVERYWHERE - I know that I have had advantages in life: I got to go to a good school and I have a good job. And even so, I find it hard to survive. On top of that, I feel so much pressure to be and do and have more. My head is going to explode. This is simply depressing. The entire country is one huge disappointment.

I will NOT forget to vote this coming election.

Male + Deep Voice = + Woman + Babies

Holy Smokes [squeaky voice]!!! This is one of the reasons why I love linguistics. Sometimes, linguists can do really cool research, like this : BBC NEWS. Although I think it was actually an anthropologist who conducted the study. Whatever. They could use a linguist anyway. 

Sorry guys with squeaky voices: you would find it hard to have plentiful babies if you lived 200 years ago, and/or in tribal Africa.

I Should Have Taken a Math Class

For those of you who are still in college: take a math class. JUST DO IT.

GMAT

Dear GMAT, Dear GMAT, I despise your existence. 

I do not agree with your values, or conditions.

I do not like the price I must pay

To sit for four hours, under pressure, to let you judge me,

and have others measure my worth through your percentile game.

I am not a number.

Destination Wedding?

WARNING. IF YOU READ THIS BLOG POST YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT.

I am not capable of not thinking about something that I want to think about. So here I am, back again on the same theme. (I'm sure Alan is sick of me asking him silly questions about wedding stuff.) ... but I have come to terms with my situation: not knowing what I am going to do for our wedding is a problem. I must fix this problem. To fix the problem I need your help: What do you think about a destination wedding? Would you be willing to travel to, say, Cancun Mexico for a long weekend? I think it would be super romantic! I've looked into it, and there are all inclusive resorts that offer gourmet cuisine, any kind of beverage you could possibly want, activities and luxurious beaches for about $200 a night.

If we hold the wedding in the US, many of the people who would attend our wedding would have to travel and pay for a hotel during a weekend anyway (plus food and stuff). The only difference Cancun would add is a couple of extra hours of travel time and beautiful beaches. It would be easier for my mom to obtain a visa for Mexico than the US. And, I really like the idea of our family and friends spending time together and getting to know each other in a relaxing environment before Alan and I tie the knot.

So, what do you think? I am trying to take a survey to determine if anybody would actually come. I know that it is a lot to ask of guests, and some may think it is a little self centered... so I would appreciate your honest opinion.

GMAT PROCRASTINATION!!!!!!!!

!!!!! Apparently everything in my life is more exciting than studying for the GMAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The date is approaching to take the test. I paid $250.00 to take this thing and I haven't studied a lick. I will be very disappointed in myself if I do not do well... but I am too burnt out after work to study, and on the weekends I just want to play and have fun and drink excessive amounts of wine.

Damn. I can't focus. Deep down inside a part of me is done with standardized testing. I hate it. I do not want to be a part of it anymore. I just want to experience life through living instead of measuring my accomplishment through test scores. But, at the same time, I want to go to grad school and get my masters.

Ugggg.

This month, I have become the queen of procrastination. THE QUEEN.

I have never been a procrastinator in my life. This is a very strange period for me. Maybe I should get off my butt and study... or maybe I should have another glass of wine.

SUPERBAD

I saw it. I laughed. I guess the theme of two inept boys being stupid together and longing after girls will never get too old for the cinema. Alan looked like he was going to pee in his pants, he was laughing so hard during a couple of scenes. My brother also told me that he had loved it. Maybe this movie tapped a deep-emotional "guy thing" that I fail to see as excitingly imaginative. Overall I thought it was funny, but I do not know if I would pay to watch it again.
